October quilt

I didn't make a Schnibble pattern this month even though we had two choices. One was for a full sized quilt, which I don't need, and the other was for a star which has never been on my list of favorites. And besides ---Middle daughter is expecting her baby soon and I need to get the baby quilt finished (and some other birthday and Christmas gifts) before I work on something for myself.

I call this quilt "Godot" (with thanks to Samuel Beckett) because they're waiting. It's a pattern I've wanted to make for several years. I put white in the same place on the stars in each block but other than that, it's random. The bright blue with the white elephants is what she chose for the curtains.

Also, I want to say a public thank you to my no-blog friend Synthia. When I told her my daughter had an elephant theme for the nursery, she saw the same blue print in a shop and sent me a fat quarter of it. I think of her every time I look at the quilt.

I'll be shopping for the backing tomorrow. Daughter has requested flannel and Fabric Depot has a great section of children's flannel.

About Me

If it has fabric or yarn in it, I like to work with it. I love to sew. I like to knit and crochet. And I like to bake and eat the results.
